[JENKINS-6501] Authentication via HTTP Header #705

Closed timja closed 10 years ago

timja commented 14 years ago

At our company we have a authentication app that handles the access to our webapps. When a User is authorized, a HTTP Header with the Username(or the ldap User) is set (In this environment Hudson connaot be accessed directly).

It would be great to have a Authentication Option: HTTP Header, which determines the Username through this Header (no password needed, cause user is already authenticated).

Another great option, would be to lookup this Username via LDAP/Active Directory via the existing plugins, to get the Real Name and so on.

I wanted to write my own Plugin for this purpose but the Hudson Plugin Tuts are too confusing for me

danielbeck:

Seems to be covered by Reverse Proxy Auth Plugin. If not, would need a new plugin, rather than core implementation.
